Nice ride to see the island by water and dolphins too. The crew were nice but not informative about what the itinerary was. The description of the tour was stopping for swimming and snorkeling but we didn’t stop and they didn’t even mention it. The advertisement for this trip shows snacks being served but there were none. The wine and beer were available for purchase but pricey and the wine was sour.

We took this tour because we arrived just after 10.30 (and the other operators had left) and this tour left at 11.00. Mistake! This is a ‘domestic’ catamaran which is not designed to take groups of tourists. The outside viewing area is poor if there is any more than a few tourists. The inside area (if there is wind or poor weather) is very small with almost no visibility outside, and most of the space is taken up with a galley and dining table (there are 2 bedrooms below decks). The craft is also quite small in size (compared to other operators) so is very susceptible to the motion of the sea.
We have been on a dolphin watching trip each time we have visited Madeira and this trip was the worst by far. Far better are the Sea Born snd Magic Dolphin boats which are designed for tourist trips and provide good visibility (and better stability). They are also cheaper than this trip!
Any good points? Yes, the crew were friendly.
